Don’t worry though, they made sure to put some vague exemptions!🙄

This law rewrites a pre-covid mask ban that was previously created in response to union organizing. When they were taking the pandemic seriously, the mask ban was suspended from the law. What’s in the tweet are the vague and easily abused exceptions to the reinstatement of the ban. The Death Panel Podcast episode: “Unmasking Mobs and Criminals” (05/23/24) did a great breakdown of the law, the anti-labor history behind mask bans, and the bad faith arguments of the legislators while they were pushing this through.
Thank you. I now understand that we’re not talking about COVID masks, which threw me for a loop given the title of this community.

You’re welcome. We’re still talking talking about covid masks though. I very much recommend listening to that podcast; Immunocompromised folks have been dealing with the discrimination and abuse of these mask bans for years even before covid.
Gotcha, thanks for explaining that. I see the problem now.
There was also a recent story of a woman with late stage cancer who had a man approach her in an oil change shop and tell her that masks were illegal, then coughed on her after she told him she had cancer and her immune system was nonexistent because the concept of protecting yourself from deadly pathogens has been politicized so heavily the past few years.

Damn, that’s awful. What a terrible person.
